This week in StubWorld ...




With the short-selling ban in Korea lifted this past Monday, this insight takes a cursory look at those Holdcos moving, and some that may yet have more to move. 




Preceding my comments on Korean stubs are the weekly setup/unwind tables for Asia-Pacific Holdcos.



These relationships trade with a minimum liquidity threshold of US$1mn on a 90-day moving average, and a % market capitalisation threshold - the $ value of the holding/opco held, over the parent’s market capitalisation, expressed in percent - of at least 20%.


<div>
<p>On 26 November, <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/lg-corp" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:6653:1" rel="noopener">LG Corp (003550 KS)</a> officially announced it would be splitting itself into two - the core electronics, chemicals, and telecoms business will stay in LG Corp, with the remaining non-core holdings transferred to NewCo, a new holding company, and subsequently spin-off to LG Corp shareholders.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/profiles/douglas-kim" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="accounts:342" rel="noopener">Douglas Kim</a> discussed this transaction beginning with <em><a href="https://skr.ma/BZgGp" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LG Group Announces the Formation of LG NewCo &amp; Split of 4 Companies from LG Corp</a></em>, and I added my thoughts in <em><a href="https://skr.ma/Tdpxs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2021 High Conviction: LG Corp's Decade-Low Stub</a></em>.</p>
<p>The benefits of the demerger are projected to be two-fold. The NewCo is expected to improve the competitiveness and efficiency of the business (potentially re-rating the company); but also as an interim step to facilitate share swaps with the family with the two holding companies. This has been speculated since Koo Kwang-mo was inaugurated as chairman in 2018. NewCo's board of directors will be headed by Koo Bon-joon, the uncle of Kwang-Mo. </p>
<p>The remaining Holdco will focus on steady earnings from its core operations (electronics, chemicals, and telecom), and via new opportunities. LG provided further rationale for the spin-off in its 4Q20 results - that is attached at the bottom of this insight.</p>
<p>It was noted, however, that LG Corp would maintain 91.5% of the group's assets - ₩9,779.8bn - as at 3Q20. This raises the question: just how much value can be unlocked by via spinning off ~8%?</p>
<p>The NAV and implied stub <em>widened</em> after the demerger announcement, and following a tepid reversal, narrowed around the time <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/lg-electronics-inc" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:8814:1" rel="noopener">LG Electronics (066570 KS)</a> announced a US$1bn JV with Magna on the 22 December to make electric car gears.</p>

<p>On the 15 December, US-headquartered Whitebox said:</p>

<p>The spin-off does nothing to address LG’s most pressing issue, which is the unprecedented discount at which the company trades relative to its assets and, accordingly, inferior return to shareholders.</p>
<p>Despite clearly favorable alternatives, the board (of LG) has unanimously approved a plan that, in our view, sacrifices minority shareholder return in order to resolve a family succession issue.</p>
